mated that Henry George viii not attend the
february 22d convention here because he is
opposed to the basis of representation. From
private information received in this city it 10

ANOTHER WRECK AT TlFFIN.

Fireman on the Ohio Central.

A "KinlS" in Rail Causes the Death Of n
Fireman on the Ohio Central.
TIFFlN, o., Jan. 26.-Another fatal rail-
road wreck was added to the list in this sec
ton yesterday, this time the Ohio Central
being the victim, ard the loss will foot up
$1,000 The wreck occurred about forty
rods east Of Taylor's Inn, n chasm sixty feet
deep, and was caused by a "kink' in a rail.
The train No. II, which left Toledo about l
p. M, and consisting of engine, baggage and
express cars and one COACH struck the de-
fective rail about thirty miles out, while
running at the rate of fifty miles an hour,
and the whole train was instantly thrown
from the track, overturning the cars and
throwing the engine on its side in the ditch.
The engineer, Mike Winklefoos, stuck to
his engine and escaped unhurt. The fireman,
Louis Cassner, jumped as the engine struck
the "kink, and was caught between the ten
der and baggage car and horribly mangled.
He was unmarried and resided at Indianapo-
lis. There were fifteen passengers in the
coach, and although it turned completely
over and plowed up the track for ten rods,
with the exception Of few bruises and one
sprained wrist, they all escaped.
The stoves in the coach and express cars
were bolted to the floors and the doors Sc
curely fastened, which precaution prevented
another holocaust. The wreck was so COM
plete and serious that, although a large force
of men were employed, they did not get the
track clear until 5 O'clock this morning.
